    My apologies, I unfortunately must withdraw due to family concerns. I hope someone else is able to bring another +1 in light of this conflict-- my apologies again!!

    What's your experience moving established setups? Any particular thoughts/advice?

    Hi all, I'm not currently planning on moving any time soon, however, as I am in the process of setting up my first tank (dream 120G reef!), I'm certainly wondering how I'll move the tank if and when I ever have to. I don't imagine ever leaving the immediate bay area due to working in tech...

    Awesome opportunity! I am a supporting member and interested, I also would like to bring along my partner, if that ends up being possible! Please let me know if there's anything else I can/should do!

    Picked up this 120 Gal reef-ready Aqueon from Marketplace. I want to spend the long-haul refurbishing it-- any resources/tips are greatly appreciated!

    That's exactly what I was looking for! Couldn't remember the name haha. Do you know where I would look into to actually buy these items to then install? Thank you!

    That's good to consider, thank you! I was already planning on establishing a plumbing system well before the tank is filled (at least with saltwater, I might fill it with hose water just to test/feel things out). It's an in-tank overflow with drilled in/out in the bottom, also. I believe the...

    It seemed like what I was looking for, and Bulkreefsupply, saltwateraquarium, and a lot of other communities I've seen are very excited / in support of the product. BRS said the Blade is on the highest "price per par" scale, with the biggest value. Very enticing, lol

    That sounds good, I'll definitely practice applying silicone / bracing beforehand. Thanks!

    Haha always fun running into the same people on different platforms! I am looking into the 48" fixtures, but Im going to look into / consider other approaches too. Will keep everyone updated!

    My plan is to spend a long time on this, as if it were a "project car." That includes the things like resealing, applying extra bracing, building new stand, plumbing, etc. I plan to eventually setup a mixed-reef with medium light and flow, mostly focusing on softies and LPS. I intend to use a...

    Looking for medium-large "project" tank

    Thank you! If I got a glass tank, I was thinking that I would apply generous extra coats of silicone, even if there are no present sealing issues. I'm more than okay with erring on the side of "too much silicone" rather than "too little... + dead fish & water damage" Do you think this approach...

    Looking for medium-large "project" tank

    Hi all, First post here, newly joined supporting member! I'm currently looking for a tank that I can work on / refurbish in hopes of taking my time in setting up a first-time reef. I lean towards an 75-100 gallon range overflow tank, glass or acrylic, but I am more than happy to consider any...
